My experience with Brian Latimer and his staff has been nothing short of exceptional. From the second I reached out to them for help, I knew I had found the firm to help me navigate a truly stressful and emotional child support case.
He and his assistant made the whole process as easy as it could be and took the stress off me. They not only were dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome, but they listened and handled my fears, many questions and high emotions like I was speaking to a dear friend.
Mr. Latimer's knowledge, dedication, and overall kindness when handling myself and my case exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an amazing lawyer both in court and through the whole process look no further. You have found the absolute very best in Brian Latimer and his staff. I am forever grateful for everything they have done for me and the kindness in the process.

Thanks to Brian, I kept my house and my kids. He was always responsive and very professional. He kept a cool demeanor at all times but wouldn't let any nonsense from the other side slide. He would clearly explain legal theory and strategy when I had questions and for these reasons, I highly recommend him.

Rita Gribko, Esq. has a heart of gold. She also has the instinct of a true strategist, passion of a zealous advocate, and empathy of a best friend. Rita is, in short, someone anyone would want on their side – especially in a court of law.
I had the good fortune of meeting Rita when I was looking for a lawyer to represent me in a contentious civil suit. The lawsuit was taking years, going nowhere, and costing tons. I needed a solution and didn’t know where to find her – until Rita came into the picture.
From day one with Rita, she was prepared. She took things under her control so I wouldn’t have to. She told me what I didn’t want to hear but needed to her. She problem solved and got things moving in the right direction. She didn’t make any promises that she couldn’t keep. She always, always, always put the client first.
I cannot tell you the number of times that I have referred Rita’s services to friends and persons in legal need. She is the smartest and most authentic person I know. I am so grateful she practices law and wish all professionals were as wonderful as Rita.

Rita has handled two issues I've had. One was family related, one business. On both occasions she went out of her way to help us. She is very responsive. She's fair, and realistic in her approach and doesn't speak to you like a typical lawyer, in lawyer language. Everything is spelled out clearly and in a manner that is understandable. I've dealt with lawyers regularly in my 30+ years in business and I can honestly say, Rita is the finest I've dealt with. I'm the type of person who wants to know the truth and what I'm faced with regard to legal matters. Rita gives me straight answers, no legal "jargon" and tells me what the options are clearly. I recently recommended her to a business colleague and he's also very pleased with Rita's work. She has my highest recommendation.

Ms. Gribko is driven to skillfully represent and think carefully about the details of your case because she actually cares. Unlike large law firms, you get personal attention that is hard to come by when you are just another case file. Ms. Gribko worked tirelessly to deal with our very difficult and complicated multi-state situation. She was always professional, pro-active, insightful and compassionate. I would recommend her counsel to others.

My name is Carolyn, Scott Sekuler was my attorney when I lived in New Jersey. He is the most
understanding, trustworthy, hard-working attorney I have ever met. (and I worked in a court house
for 10 years so I do know the difference from good and not so good attorneys). Scott was so professional and also tough when he needed to be during our mediation. I am please to tell you
we settled our case (in my favor, solely on the works of Scott). Not only was Scott professional and hardworking, but the most important to me was the personal touch he had. He made me feel important every step of the way of my case, and comforted me when I need it the most.
I would recommend Scott to anybody that wants a hard working, tough, honest, and caring atty.
and friend. You come away with the comfort of knowing you were treated and included with your
whole case and made a friend along the way. He is the best. Although, I live in Pennsylvania now,
I would go to New Jersey for any legal work I need done. Thank you for allowing me to elaborate on
Attorney Scott H. Sekuler, use him the best move you could every make!

Mr. Flacon is an amazing lawyer!!! He faught for me, continuously, for two years. Both him and his staff were always on my side, and would even call me periodically just to check on me, and how i was doing. Everyone there was absolutely wonderful, always helpful, and always happy to help in any way they can. I was unsure and nervous about possibly suing, Mr Falcon made me feel more secure, and talked me through everything , before i even hired him. Not only is Mr. Falcon an excellent lawyer, but he is also a good man, and i would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

I had Mr. Mancino represent me in my case. I was very dissatisfied with his legal services. He was never available and never returned my phone calls. He was not straight forward regarding the status of my case.

I was sued by a patient who was referred to me by her general dentist. It was alleged that I performed an unnecessary procedure on the patient. The case went to court and with Mr. Mancino at my side I was confident that the outcome would be in my favor. For ten days I watched this attorney fight for me every step of the way. The jury found in my favor because i did nothing wrong and because I had a great lawyer who laid out my case in a clear and concise manner. If you are ever a defendant in a professional malpractice matter give Mr. Mancino a call. You'll be glad you did.

I was named as a defendant in a dental malpractice action. I did not meet Mr. Mancino until shortly before my case was scheduled to go to trial. I was concerned that he would not have a full understanding of the facts and issues in my case. After one meeting all of my fears were put to rest. Mr. Mancino knew the case better than I did and went through his trial strategy with me in a clear, concise cogent and convincing manner. The trial was nerve wracking but Russ found the time to not only try the case but to listen to my concerns and reassure me every step of the way.
The jury found in my favor by a 6 to 1 vote. I was impressed with the way Russ handled the victory. He was conciliatory to the other side, humble and genuinely happy for me. He counseled me on how to avoid lawsuits in the future by simply keeping the lines of communication open with my clients. I learned a lot from this ordeal thanks to Mr. Mancino.
